Yes, then I'll start on Saturday, because we haven't met since Saturday. On Saturday morning, two very important events took place at once. The first was the enemy's attack on the ships of the Black Sea Fleet, as well as on civilian ships that were moored in the bay of Sevastopol. For this purpose, the enemy used ships that used the so-called humanitarian grain corridor. And, accordingly, on the other hand, our guys were waiting for them. And it is for this reason, by the way, that we managed to repel the attack quite well. That is, the enemy expected a very serious success. However, only a few ships were damaged. If you remember, a month and a half ago, one of these ships, half-submerged robots, was intercepted, that is, it was thrown onto one of the beaches of Sevastopol. Naturally, it was studied. In principle, such an attack was expected, and in general, it was possible to repulse it without major losses. Nevertheless, the main result of this terrorist attack was Russia's withdrawal from the grain deal, and now Ukraine will have very big problems in this regard. As far as I know, the first missile strike on Odesa has already been carried out today, and I understand that gradually Ukrainian ports will again be a legitimate target, or rather, they are already a legitimate target, and this legitimate target will be hit by Russian missiles. Meanwhile, the second very important news, which went in parallel to Unison in the same hours as the morning free attack, was the beginning of a powerful offensive by Russian troops near Uglidar. A very serious artillery preparation and the work of aviation allowed us to quickly overturn the first line of the enemy's defense and literally immediately break into the village of Pavlovka, which is located south of Uglidar. In fact, it is very large for this settlement, there are still fighting, the enemy is semi-encircled there, trying to hold on, even trying to throw some reserves to it, there are very serious battles. At the same time, to the east of Uglidar, our troops are attacking in order to cut off all communications of the Uglidar grouping of the enemy. Today we received a report that after the capture of the heights around Novomykhailivka, our troops launched an assault on this settlement, gained a foothold by the afternoon of today and continue offensive operations. After the road that runs from Uglidar to the Maryinka area is cut, this grouping, taking into account the current weather conditions, has become soaked, well, as if the entire area has become soaked, that is, it is possible to supply only by road, the enemy will essentially find himself in an operational encirclement. It will be very, very difficult to supply it, and I very much hope that this will be a very important factor so that we can quickly encircle the coal group, or force the enemy to retreat. Well, in other directions, I can note the Svatove direction of the enemy, he tried, took the next attacks, again, threw reserves, senselessly, again, there were constant losses. Well, in general, our defense line on the Stallion River, it is still problem-free. Well, today there was a very important event, these are missile strikes on the infrastructure, the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, and in terms of the power of such strikes, in my opinion, I do not remember anything like this, in terms of the number of targets hit and, most importantly, in terms of effectiveness after hitting the targets. that they have already run out of spare transformer equipment at the substations. It is for this reason that it will be problematic to quickly restore the full energy supply of the region. And for the same reason, today, for example, one of the Gauleiters of the Kyiv region said that the population should no longer expect a rapid restoration of energy supplies. And today, as an emergency measure, diesel locomotives were withdrawn instead of electric locomotives. This suggests that the margin of safety that Ukraine had from the Soviet Union is really running out along with the transformers and the affected objects. And Ukraine should gradually get used to the fact that there will be a winter without electricity, without heat, well, as planned, probably, to some extent, after they struck at us.
